OK, I received a Premiers mouse mat as part of a Secret Santa present at work. I noticed Des wasn't on it but thought maybe he wasn't in that particular shot. After seeing the picture in mcatt's post, it's the exact same photo, only minus Des (and a couple of others).
Dessie was in those photos. He was behind watmough

I believe it is a space issue. They could not fit his ego in with a wide angle lens
When the dogs get the spoon next year they will struggle with the team photo.. Not only having to fit the ego, but the bulging money pocket on Dessie, with the green turd also having a bulging pair of slacks for Dessie
The turkeys on talking sport had a bit to say about it, saying it was a disgrace that he was removed. Not sure why I listen to the dribble.
Last Friday I emailed the club saying we were being ridiculed over this on Talking Sport. I suggested someone from the club might want to come out & set the record straight.
Yesterday I got an email saying my message had been forwarded to Rachael Cassidy, our Media and Communications Manager.
Meanwhile I just heard the 'story' again during the BSB program – it was on the NEWS (!) A ridiculous beat-up, but I hope Rachel does say something.

I think it goes to show how closely people look at the merchandise, some ppl don't pay attention to detail.
But when it's pointed out its an outrage 😉
Should be a bulldogs cap on the added figure 🙂
There is no doubt that the papers trawl our sites for stories.
But at least we now know how this happened.
I wonder how much of a cut the sea eagles get from the merchandise considering the NRL organises it? Maybe pk can find that out for us.

The news article from the title makes sure people think it is a manly issue. But it does elaborate on the facts as pointed out it was signed off by the Nrl and not controlled by the club. The problem is how the news article is then reported. I heard it as part of BSB and they were fair, stating even Wayne Bennett was removed off the dragons stuff. The 9am news on sky sports racing only reports it as Des was removed from merchandise, leaving it open for the leaches.
The positive is that people must be a little paranoid Manly are going to do well this year. Because they are trying to beat up everything

Manly chief executive David Perry was forced to go to the NRL for a "please explain" yesterday after inadvertently being drawn into the embarrassing gaffe - but was relieved to learn that it was no fault of Manly's
"The NRL signed off on all that merchandise, we didn't even see it," Perry said
"It got fired off on the public holiday in October the day after the game, before Des had even left the club."
The NRL claimed Hasler was removed during "phase two" of its memorabilia release, when the image tries to focus on a "players only" format. Similar images were released last year without Wayne Bennett in the Dragons premiership photos, and the same when Manly won its premiership in 2008
Sometimes, though, some involved cannot be removed from the image without leaving holes on the photograph - which explains why incoming first grade coach Geoff Toovey and several other assistants remain
Typical piece of garbage journalism by Paul Kent. Love how he contradicts himself through the whole article. Typical Sea Eagles haters jumping onboard the article and hating on Manly without really reading the article in the first place. Same thing happened to Wayne Bennett and apparently wasn't back page news last year.
Finished my rant and I feel better now 🙂
